The Billionaire Boss Wants His Doting Sweetheart Back CH 0017
Ivan had been numb ever since the email concerning the waitress and the information about the mastermind behind her had been sent to him, and was consumed by the sheer reality that plagued him endlessly. He had strongly hoped that the perpetrators would be the ones who approached him at the party, Marcus and Hermes, so that he could have made them dance to the tune for their malicious act against him. However, he could never have imagined that it would be his own mother who would have arranged for a waitress to have him high on aphrodisiac. He had been so overwhelmed by the shocking revelation of the truth which had him teetering between anger and profound sadness, unable to shake the disbelief and betrayal that gnawed at his insides. The relationship between the two of them was already the worst for a very long time, and they had been apart longer than he could remember, since she loved living her own life without looking back at the adverse effects it had caused him. However,

Ivan had been demoralized ever since he drove out of his mother's house, feeling so terrible that, yet again, she had burned more bridges that might have brought them back together. He felt so bad and disappointed that she could justify her actions in the most crude words, and stood unapologetically before him even when she knew she had done wrong. He could not just believe her. He wished she had denied doing something like that and insisted that it was a mistake on the investigator's part. She had made him cross lines he was not meant to cross with his employee, and left the relationship between them more than what one could describe with just simple words. Ever since Ivan was young, he had never experienced his mother's love because she loved her gregarious lifestyle so much, and could not give it up for her little child. Adelaide had nannies stay with him most of the time in his life, and spent her life enjoying and exploring, away from her child and extremely busy husband, Con

Doctor Roberts had been with Ivan inside his room for what felt like forever, while Skylar sat in the huge living room, her eyes meandering around the luxurious mansion. It was not the first, second, or third time that she had been to his house in the three years of working with him, but she could not help but be enthralled by the beauty and elegance of the mansion's interiors and exteriors. Everything about his living room, down to the high-end chandeliers hanging above the ceiling, intricate interior designs, with high-end artwork adorning the walls, and every feature being controlled by an integrated home automation system was of great opulence. Skylar remembered the first day she took a tour around his house to find out that he had a standard private gym with top-of-the-line equipment, a home theater with plush reclining seats, a huge pool that could fit the standard measurement for that of the Olympics, a library filled with shelves of first-edition books, and so many features

Skylar's eyes darted to her wristwatch and her eyes grew wide in shock when she realized that she had spent more than thirty minutes with him doing nothing after the doctor had left. She immediately got on her feet, and got ready to leave as she took one more glance at him to be sure that he seemed fine. However, she was drawn back to the observation she made when she touched his skin initially, and tentatively, she reached out and placed a hand on his forehead instantly, her heart sinking at the intensity of the heat radiating from his skin as she withdrew her hand immediately. “Why is his fever not subsiding, yet?” She questioned herself as she gazed at him to see him still sleeping, her concern deepening so much. ‘Goodness! This is why it was good for him to have maids around!’ Skylar almost scoffed as she turned away immediately, her eyes quickly scanning the room for anything she could use to break his fever. She quickly made her way to his plush bathroom to get a bowl of

Skylar didn't know what she would do with the news that Ivan suddenly revealed to her without asking, but for some reason, she felt her heart sink instantly when he revealed that, his sharp words slashing her heart like a knife.Usually, she knew he had been in at most a few weeks' relationship with two elite ladies since she became his secretary, and knew those ladies even if his relationship with them had been circumstantial and confidential. But him suddenly announcing to her about a lady she didn't even know, made her feel so betrayed. She tried to keep her expression neutral when he said that and had faked an awkward chuckle before she left his house, but she had been so pissed since then, and had no idea why. Skylar stopped at her home, took her bath, and changed her clothes, before she set out to go to the hospital to see her Mum to spend time with her and clear her mind. However, on her way to the hospital, she kept fuming incessantly, her eyebrows crossing in disdain ever

It was Monday of the new week, and Skylar was ready for work again as she struggled with her thoughts through the weekend while preparing Ivan's schedule for the week, meticulously planning out every detail and work calendar to ensure his demanding routine ran smoothly. She arrived much earlier than she usually did because she didn't want Ivan to chide her again on a good day, and she was quite relieved that she arrived about ten minutes and settled at her table before he entered the office. He sauntered in so grandly, his presence effortlessly commanding, as he strode in confidently as ever, looking even much better than he did the last time she saw him, which was two days ago. And he surprisingly looked even taller than usual, which made her wonder if it was she who had gotten shorter. “Good morning, Mr. Hamilton,” she greeted, her tone firm and uncompromising familiarity. Ivan gave a curt nod without saying much, as his piercing eyes briefly met hers and fell to her feet, and

Skylar was sitting behind her desk unusually again that morning, staring blankly at the MacBook which was opened before her without proceeding with her work. Her left fingers tapped nervously on her lap, as she gripped the right ones in her teeth while struggling with the echoing memory of his she had lashed out at her boss just moments ago. Her frustration had boiled over because he was being unnecessarily stubborn when it was all for his good, and had yelled at him before she even realized it. It was something she had never done before. Something she never knew she was capable of doing. To him or anyone. Him especially. After she came back to her senses and began to apologize for hurling at him, Ivan turned and walked out without any further words, leaving her standing there, shocked and horrified at her own behavior. And at that moment, she regretted it. ‘How could she have let her emotions get the better of her at that moment when she had always been professional and compos

Skylar sat still at her desk as she began her work for the day which had piled up during her week-long absence, her eyes constantly glancing at her wristwatch incessantly, her pressure mounting to see that Ivan had not returned to his office or called either to inform her of anything. Suddenly, the door to her office swung open with a forceful thud and caused her to flinch, as she raised her eyes instantly, ready to face Ivan and hear whatever he had to tell her. However, disappointment clouded her eyes instantly, as soon as the sight of the substitute secretary, Taylor, sauntered into her office with a look of spiteful annoyance etched on her face. “You were here?” She was unable to hide the shock that furrowed her brows, as she stared at Skylar as if awaiting an explanation. “Yeah. Any problem?” Skylar's voice was smooth, her eyes questioning why she thought otherwise. “We all thought you had resigned from your job already, but someone said you came around this morning, so I ca

With a heavy heart, Skylar sat motionless in her chair all day, her gaze fixed on the same spreadsheet she had been pretending to work on for hours, with her mind far away from what was even going on around her. She had expected to see him a few hours later, after she thought that the storm concerning his mother proposing the most ridiculous idea must have passed, because the news that the votes turned against her quickly went like wildfire in the company. She anticipated that he would come back so that she would have the chance to explain herself, but it didn't seem like it at all. He didn't return till she clocked out late at night. The emptiness in her chest grew heavier and sadness seeped into her bones as she walked out of her office, her footsteps heavy on the quiet halls of the building, like her thoughts were drowning out of the world around her. As Skylar sauntered out of the main building, the cool night air kissed her puffy cheeks, but it did little to clear the haze c

Skylar was seated behind her work desk, motionless and absent-minded, as her fingers remained limp against the keyboard. In her heart was a heaviness that she couldn't even speak of, and it ached with the pain of confrontation that she had just endured. She couldn’t focus at all. The memory of Ivan's angry face that flashed at her the moment he entered the room refused to evade her, and his accusatory words that hinted at frustration and disappointment made her heartache. Nothing even hurt more than the fact that he didn't wait to hear her explain herself. He was just mad that she had met Grayson. “I can explain what happened,” she fought with her shaky voice as she tried to explain herself, but he had been too mad to even listen. “So you have been meeting him behind my back?! Since when?! And why?! Is that why you have been giving me an attitude for almost two days now?” He raged at her with words that slammed her heart against a wall with excruciating force, as her eyes watered

A man burst through the double doors of the executive hallway, his shoes thudding against the polished marble floor as he sprinted with a desperation that was fueled by panic, his hair disheveled and dampened with sweat. He barreled into the secretary’s office after an impatient knock, as he entered with the intention of informing Skylar of what was going on, only to come in direct contact with Ivan, who was also standing in the room. His steel-blue eyes flicked up in measured curiosity as the man skidded to a halt, narrowly avoiding slamming into a sleek leather armchair, almost melting as he tried to balance himself, barely catching his breath amid the suffocating tension that settled in the air. “Sir?” the man gasped, struggling to contain both his breath, almost stuttering, “Your…mother. No. I mean,” he shook his head in an attempt to correct himself, “Mrs. Hamilton is here.” Ivan, who still had flickers of rage scribbled over his face, arched a single eyebrow, with the fainte

The restaurant they were seated in crackled with tension as Amelia's sharp gaze locked onto Carlos's, her arms crossed, and her lips pursed in a fiery scowl, “You don’t even call me anymore,” she snapped, her voice slicing through the charged air like a whip. “Is that why you asked to meet me early this morning?” Carlos stared at her in disbelief, wondering if that was all she had to say when she called and asked to see him so urgently at the restaurant that was nearest to his house. “Is that what I am saying, Carlos?! I said that you don't even talk to me anymore! You would have called if I hadn't,” her face scrunched up into a frown, unable to stand the fact that he was disregarding her concern. Carlos met her glare, his jaw tightening in repressed anger, “You said that it was what you wanted,” he countered, his tone calm but strained, as if walking a tightrope over a chasm of resentment. He couldn't even believe she would be asking him that. “You would have called regardless,”

“Why?” Her eyebrows were raised in confusion, as she wondered why he was saying that. “The public announcement will be worth more,” he told her and skipped talking about it quickly, and she nodded slowly as if absorbing in bits what he meant. “Are you okay, though? You don't sound like yourself,” Carlos observed. Skylar pressed her lips together and shut her eyes for a moment, as she smiled again, “Yeah, I am fine,” she lied, “Just... tired. You know how it is.”“I get it,” Carlos sounded so concerned, “But if you need anything, you know I am here at your beck and call. And I mean anything,” he reminded her. Skylar felt a rush of gratitude in her heart because of his unmerited kindness towards her, and she couldn't help but be emotionally thankful at the moment, as she repeated, “Thank you, Carl. Thank you so much. You have been amazing, really. As soon as I am able to, I will take you out to eat. Anywhere you want. It is going to be my treat,” she promised. Carlos chuckled again

In the silent hospital room where nothing but the rhythmic beeping of the machines that monitored her mother’s vitals, Skylar sat again beside the bed, this time properly dressed in a pale-blue disposable safety suit, with her gloved hands gently wrapped around her mother’s frail right hand. She was unable to think properly after she returned from Ivan's house and knew she wouldn't even be able to perform well if she went home immediately. Instead, she returned to the hospital, asked to see her mother again, and was granted the grace to see her properly this time. However, her thoughts were far from at ease or where she was seated, as she stared blankly at her mother's bed, her mind spinning in a relentless tide of worry and self-doubt. Amid her fear for her mother and the fear for herself, her head was blowing up with pain, and her heart was racing with so much angst.She pressed her trembling lips together, struggling to contain the storm brewing inside her, as she tried not to l

“The surgery had just ended and was successful,” the surgeon, who had just come out of the theatre room still dressed in her blue scrub, and had a nose mask hanging below her chin, told Skylar with a reassuring smile that didn't brighten her face.Instantly, the world around her paused for a millisecond as the tension that had been hanging in her body crumbled instantly, and dissipated into the air. Her legs gave way below her body, and before she knew it, she had fallen on her knees, as she felt the hard, cold floor press against her palms that rested against the floor, the weight of the news sinking into her mind. Her right hand which was trembling covered her mouth, as a stifling gasp that felt like it had been locked in her chest for hours escaped her, alongside the tears that trickled down her cheeks. ‘She was alive. Her mother was alive,’ she heaved a sigh of relief, unable to handle the excitement. “Thank you, doctor. Thank you so much,” were the few words her voice could u

“I am sorry, we cannot be together,” those heavy words hung heavily between the two standing across from one another, and the receiver, Leo, blinked hard as he stared at Kali, who had broken the news to him.“What.. What is wrong, Kali?” His lips barely found the right words to utter because his brain was barely functioning coherently. That was the last news he expected her to bring to him, just when he was planning that they would go hiking together since she liked doing that. ‘Things had been going fine between them for the past few days. What went wrong?’ His eyes took a haunted look as if awaiting an explanation from her. “Nothing is,” she looked away from him while resting her back on the railings of the rooftop recreation spot they were standing, because she said she wanted to go there when he asked what she wanted to do. “Kali, meet my eyes,” Leo stared at her, his heart wanting to reach out to her in the most intentional way, as his right hand stretched and caught hers in

Skylar made her way into the five-star restaurant, her eyes glancing briefly through the few people that were seated in the room, until they landed on Grayson, who was seated by the window, his face brightening with a warm, sweet smile the moment he raised his head. She instantly flashed a warm smile at him from where she was standing, and he rose to his feet, as a gesture to welcome her which almost melted away her initial nervousness instantly. It made Skylar's eyes almost roll in shock because she never thought she could see him smile considering their first and second encounter. “Hi, Sky,” he greeted her with a sweet smile, and politely offered her a seat across from him, “You look absolutely gorgeous,” his eyes lingered as he took in her dress, and her smile.“Hi, Gray,” she responded with a nervous smile, “You don't look bad yourself,” she finally settled into her seat. “How have you been these days?” He initiated the conversation, his eyes peering at her. “Been great,” Skyl
